Now it gets epic! The Odyssey

10 Feb 2026
ORGANISÉ PAR : Exzellenzcluster ROOTS | Universität Kiel
Universität Kiel, Olshausenstraße 80a, Olshausenstraße 80a, 24118 Kiel

The new film by star director Christopher Nolan is expected to hit German cinemas in June: The Odyssey.

For 24 weeks, an open, academically guided reading group will offer the opportunity to get to know the ancient source text more closely. The event is aimed at anyone who has not yet engaged with the Odyssey and would like to become familiar with the subject and the German translation of the Odyssey through the reading group – or who is simply interested in ancient literature and the methodology of Classical Philology.

No prior knowledge is required! New participants can join the reading group at any time!
